Another Masterpiece!I envy anyone who hasn't had the opportunity to read this book yet! I didn't want to put it down, but at the same time didn't want the story to end either. The writing evokes such a strong emotional connection to the characters and their experiences that you cannot help but feel transported back in time. This is a true escape - even if it brings one closer to vampires!
